We didnt
The whole experience broken furniture not enough dishes for the amount of people hardly any water coming out of shower
7.0 / 10.0
The beds and couch were comfy, and there was lots of space in the lounge for my kids to play. Check in was quick and easy, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating.
The air con was very good, especially in the heat. The furniture in the lounge was easily moveable.
The pool was closed (it's mid-feb). The kitchen is cramped, and you couldn't access the draws in one of the rooms. The bathroom is small.
The floor wasn't cleaned properly, and the vacuum suction wasn't very good. This was only a problem because my daughter is at the stage of eating any thing off the ground.

Easy check in and check out.
Old, run down and dirty. Most drawers had hair or dirt in them so didn’t use it. Some dishes had leftover stains. Spiders on curtains. Kettle looked mouldy. Fridge wasn’t cleaned properly. Shower head had black stuff coming out and some hair on walls.

Property was exactly what i expected. It was clean and it was a decent place to sleep while visiting Auckland. It was also walkable to the train station.
It’s a motel. Nothing wrong with that, but don’t expect a luxurious stay.

It accommodated my dogs and was close to the location I needed to be at for the weekend
Had a ant infestation in the sunny room area where my dogs were staying so their beds and water bowl were covered

The motel was close to what we needed.
Old & dated. Grimy & unpleasant. Curtains in the lounge which were falling off the runner tape & on the kitchen windows had no blackout curtains so room was quite bright overnight. We booked & paid for a studio with aircon but the studio we were given had no aircon.. Not all studios have aircon so please confirm aircon is available. We were asked to pay extra for what we had paid for in the first place when they relocated us to a room with aircon. Our original room had wall sections which were unpainted. It’s as if the owners have no idea.

The lady who runs the property was very good and always helpful with anything that was required. She was a very friendly lady as well.
To be honest the rooms needed a clean I feel as it wasn't very clean when we arrived. The curtains need to be block out as the outside light was bad and made it hard to sleep. We also had to ask for a few things that for some reason weren't in the room and I don't think people should be charged to use the washing machine with the amount of money already outlaid for the booking of the premises.

The living area and beds was clean and comfortable and the owners/managers were helpful
The place was very tired and needs a real spruce up. The bathroom was as clean as it could be but the shower had rust around the bottom - needs a new base, the whole bathroom needs renewing. I didnt like the only sink being in the bathroom and I think having an induction cooktop is silly in a motel - most people do not know how to look after them and this particular one took up most of the bench top and made it very difficult not to put things on it. The small freezer part of the fridge was full of ice so we could not put our freezer pads in. Curtains torn in the lounge.
Even for the price I think a little more effort could be made to make it more inviting.

The location was good. And the manager was lovely.
It was very untidy, there was mold in the around the shower and mouse poos on the floor around the beds, and the toilet was leaking on the first night we stayed and they organized a plumber who didnt even fix the issue, so since we already booked 2 nights we had to stay in the same room again with a leaking toilet. And just every where els was quiet untidy. For the price it was not worth it. Especially with the leaking toilet water and mouse poos . And dodgey wall plugs and extention leads to fridge etc.

Location
Hard bed thin pillows very basic
7.0 / 10.0
It was perfectly presentable - not flashy and perhaps a little dated but it was a comfortable bed for the night. There were basic tea/coffee facilities and the bathroom and kitchen were clean. The beds were comfortable with clean linen.
The tea/coffee facilities were a little too basic but considering the price it was probably reasonable. The manager did say that if we needed anything to just ask, but nothing was so urgent to warrant disturbing their night.

Nothing to like about accommodation.
Where do I begin. The whole room was outdated, curtains and blinds were disgusting, fly stuck on the dirty curtains, tv had to turn on and off from the switch, screen of TV was not clear, couldn't turn volume down or turn off on remote and remote batteries looked like someone chewed on them. Half toilet roll and no flannels, call owner and reception brought old smelly flannels. Towel on hot water cupboard, blue ice cream container at the bottom and so dusty and filthy. Bathroom mirror had rust around the inner frame, rusted hinges of cupboard and broken drawers in bathroom, can see dirts between shower and vanity yuk. I did not have a shower as it was gross. Put towels on seat before sitting on it, room smelt old.
We would've cancel but we were so tired and husband wanted to watch rugby. We stayed at Homestead Motor Lodge fri night for $145 and I would happily pay that again, much much cleaner.
Place doesn't have to be flash but I definitely expect cleaner standards.

Not a lot - in the morning we found most of the other units had Covid warning signs on the door saying no visitors - close looking at our door there was still tape on the glass from where the sign had been taped - had it been correctly sanitized? Obviously not
Rubbish bin in kitchen was full, toilet had a sanitized tape across but distinct brown line showing bacterial growth around the rim - bathroom sink would not empty - obviously a Covid rehab area - dust on ledges picture frames and top and back of TV that were months of build up - the worst experience that we have endured on our travels

It was gd tht I could hve my dog with me and it was close to everything
Whn I 1st booked in I was told pets are fine so wax checked in thn couple of days later wax told I had to move rooms because of my dog. The room was alot dearer by $50,abd and so dirty the curtains had mold on the bottom off them curtains rails think wth dust and dirt the floors looked like thy had never been cleaned and the Bathroom was the worst. Have taken photos b4 and after and the bathroom was outside of the unit like the old wash house used to be cold as h... at night time. As a motel guest I should not have to clean it b4 I used it. I showed the owner the end result abd said about getting a discount o no can't do that but thnks for cleaning it (lol) the manager said we didn't ask you (me) to clean it but I hate dirt.

Good location for where I needed to be each day.
The double bed was extremely uncomfortable, as it was very hard! The pool was closed which was very disappointing. The cleaner used our phone charger while in the room and the staff weren't on site when we needed anything.
